Steps to setting up a VPN on a Ubuntu server

1. First install the openvpn software with the command.

aptitude install openvpn

all of the files will be located in the:

/etc/openvpn

2. to make things easier you can copy the dir "easy-rsa" from the samples dir to the current dir of "/etc/openvpn".

cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/ ./

3. after copying the easy-rsa dir switch to easy-rsa/2.0 where we will build the Certificates of Authority with some scripts.
